XRP Outperforms Ethereum at October ETF Start
XRP ETFs opened October with positive net flows, while Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows in the same session. The flow gap between the two was $59.44 million, with XRP on the positive side and Ethereum on the negative side.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
ETF traders and institutional holders in the XRP and Ethereum markets would notice the split immediately at the start of October. XRP funds took in money while Ethereum funds saw withdrawals in the same session, so the day’s flows pointed in different directions for the two assets.
What changes in practice is the month-opening flow picture across the two ETF groups. XRP funds were able to post a positive first day of October, while Ethereum funds were not; the recorded numbers still describe one session rather than a longer pattern.
